    I truly value the video as part of the guide. Having an option to turn it off and get more data would not be a bad option. Trying to remember if my 721 had that option.

    What's the purpose of the touchpad?

    And will the unit be usable without it? Meaning, will aftermarket universal remotes be able to control it via IR, or will this be some kind of weird proprietary thing?

    Loving the new interface. Not a fan of the current white/ice colored guide.

    I remember the change to the 510. I actually liked the change as it gave more options almost as good as the 625.

    You gotta think though, once people start getting used to something they think change is bad. Not everyone is like this, obviously but there are a lot of people out there that wouldn't like it to change. Some people would see it easier to stick with the same thing because they have gotten used to it and it works. Others like the fact that improvements have been done and the interface looks better to the eye. How do you please both? Create and build a whole new receiver and release it with all the new software that you learned may or may not have worked with the previous receiver? Seems to be the answer lately.

    I am looking forward to reading as much about this model as possible from SG members at CES, especially its Sling capabilities, as well as expected availability and pricing for new subs.

    Photos too please. Front, back, remote, and screenshots. Thanks.

    Scott, is this all we can read about the new 922 for now?

    What color do people like for their new guide and menu just don't do anything for me at all, I am sorry

Is that idea dead?
    I have been saying this for years.

    An update to the EPG and Menu look and feel is much needed. I wonder if they will be able to implement this change that they are doing to the 922 to the existing receivers that we have as well.

    To me, it looks like my old Comcast Guide, when I set it up to the "Black Onyx" menu color... I have a knee jerk negative reaction to it...
